Re: LOL.... precisely..... - 2 months ago

Happy went on to have three litters the last one she gave birth to 15 pups-one after another after another after another. My wife is still pissed at me because I was at a Dodger game when Happy began and Barb had to all the work in a box we built that was in our tiny garage.

Re: LOL.... precisely..... - 2 months ago

One of my first springers ("Happy") I lost for an entire day while chuker hunting. She chases a wounded bird down a shale canyon and that was it -gone. I hiked all day looking. Around 5 pm a man in a jeep came by and said "Are you looking for your dog". He took me to an area where she was still smelling around looking for the down bird. I picked her up and all four paws we

I do not like Medicare Advantage - 2 months ago

We have Medicare plus one of the Blues for supplemental coverage. My wife had lung cancer diagnosis a few years back and we went to MD Anderson for surgical intervention along with post surgical care including medications. We have not had to pay a dime so far and we had free choice of the physicians treating her both locally and in Texas. Medical Advantage is a private insurance plan like an H

Re: Guido is 2 today...... - 2 months ago

Nothing wrong with Guido-especially that age. They have tons of injury and just love people. She's lucky to live where she gets both. See too many springers that the owners have tried to turn into house dogs. I just came back from a run on the beach with Pepper who is now 14 1/2 years old. She definetely is slowing down and has a spinal issue that causes her real legs to fail her often when s

-at least in California-medical malpractice litigation in normally subject to arbitration agreements. Most, if not all, trials are not before a jury but rather an arbitration panel. Defense attorney picks a judge-normally retired-as does the Plaintiff's atty. The two picks then get together and pick the 3rd and the three try the case without a jury. Additionally, there are limits on the amount o

Re: That has to be an art.... - 2 months ago

Every litigant has their "own way". We go to all kinds of seminars where top lawyers give demonstrations and then we try and copy them. We see videos of focus groups and we emulate what we've learned. None of that stuff ever worked well with me-because it wasn't me. Not that I didn't give in to the temptations. The one lesson I wished I had learned early on was from a respected homic

She's likely doing his job (business) w/ his agent better than he is. She is the brightest light bulb in that family. Stop the references to Brenda Warner-Both of these women are smart, focused, dedicated, attractive, and purely family oriented. Wish there were more like them.

She sounds like a Keeper. Anyone with a knowlege of history when it comes to artifacts and furniture has something to value beyond the standard boy/girl dynamic. You may not like the taste but you love her for it nevertheless.

Re: IT WILL NOT HAPPEN - 2 months ago

I think at this point the sides have gone beyond the actual play of football and fans. They have now entered the Dr. Jerry Buss territory namely trading or not trading a player that has value now or waste that value. As Buss said often as owner-far better to trade a player that is near the end of his career but still is playing well and still has value than wait until that is no longer the case.

Re: We know what Brady is... - 2 months ago

I do not know him personally. And I do not know anyone close enough to "know" him. I do read occasionally what is "reported" in a lot of gossip columns. But since I do not know the guy I cannot ascribe to anything in your post.

Have you or anyone read the letters he wrote to Vermeil in prison? - 2 months ago

Really sad. Clearly a very troubled man who was unable to control time bombed anger. But he wrote with such compassion and love for Vermeil it's just hard to understand his behavior-I suspect there must have been some CT going on in his brain. He was a ferocious runner who seemed to never mind taking vicious hits.
